AFTER A LIFETIME OF BEING AN ARTIST, I KNEW IT WAS MY TIME TO IMPACT A YOUNG ARTIST'S MIND AND GIVE THEM EVERYTHING I’VE LEARNED THROUGHOUT MY YEARS. CHILDREN NEED ART TO SEE THE BEAUTY IN THE WORLD AROUND US AND DEVELOP SKILLS THAT WILL CREATE AN ENDLESS AMOUNT OF POSSIBILITIES FOR THEIR AMAZING FUTURE… I NEEDED TO BE PART OF IT AND GIVE THEM EVERYTHING I GOT.

MY GREATEST JOY IS HAVING OUR YOUNG ARTIST TELL ME HOW MUCH THEY LOVE OUR TIME TOGETHER AND “ART IS THEIR FAVORITE”! THIS ALWAYS WARMS MY HEART TO SEE A YOUNG ARTIST WHO IS AS PASSIONATE ABOUT ART AS I AM, BUILDING THAT STRONG CONNECTION TOGETHER.
